Why this must be read:
Basically, this fic is able to do what I think most fans would love to see--that is, show us Illya and Napoleon as children. What I most like about how this fic handles the scenario is that it does it without coming off as saccharine or overly sentimental. Young Napoleon and Illya are portrayed more like real children; they are an annoyance to the ladies they get foisted off onto, and fully earn the nicknames of Stinky and Smartypants. The conflict between Lisa Rogers and Illya is also believable, and I enjoy the look into the workaday lives of U.N.C.L.E.'s female staff. The resolution at the end, too, is believable and not too sappy. All in all, it's a good, fun read, and another one that I'm surprised hasn't been recced before.
Excerpt:
Waverly chomped on his pipe end so hard I thought it might break off. "Damn and blast it!" he said, which for Waverly is the equivalent of a nervous breakdown in a lesser man. "Time travel! I can never keep track of who's who when."
